Most references (eg the handbook here) only cover the 4.5 engine.  These, and the limited references to the 3.5, all agree that the exhaust valve clearance is 0.2mm.  OK.

Now for the inlet, the 4.5 references state 0.1mm, but a thread on peachparts states 0.08mm for the 3.5 engine. 

Which is correct? Engine is a 116.083 euro spec, 1973.

Haynes lists different valve springs etc but says that the clearances are the same. I would go for what is listed. 0.08 is pretty tight.
